Ruth's 2nd Birthday

Ruth turned 2 right before Christmas, and she got to celebrate the milestone with a family party - and pink strawberry cake - at her Aunt Kristen & Uncle Dave's in Arizona.
 




 
Gramma tried to offer the candle for Ruthie to lick. But she wanted no part of it. It's ironic that the child known at church for licking everything is also the child that rarely wants to lick icing, mixer spoons, cookie dough, etc.


 
But she was pretty tickled that the cake was hers.
After all "mine" in one of her newly mastered words.



 
Everyone enjoyed some cake, and Ruth enjoyed the center of attention.

 
PRESENTS!
She got a play doctor set from Gramma.

 
And a magnetic drawing board from Mommy & Daddy.

 
And a new outfit, book and purse from Aunt Kristen & Uncle Dave

 
Her favorite, though? Picking teeny tiny pieces of wrapping paper off and handing them - one by one - to Gramma :)  We feared Christmas morning was going to take forever. haha

 
Reading her new book, and playing with her new purse before bed.

 
Big sibs had to "test out" the doctor kit for Ruthie, too.
Mommy's normal. Yay! (The doctor kit must need adjustment)


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUTHIE BEAR!
